Immersive Explorer is an alternative to Window’s default Explorer in Windows 8 Modern UI Style (metro). It’s NOT a Windows 8 app store application. It’s a stand alone x86 application you can run on both Windows 7 and Windows 8. Note: if you have Surface or running Windows RT on any ARM tablet, this application will not work on your device.
